About Sasha

I’m a psychotherapist and clinical educator working at the intersection of somatic practice, relational therapy, and decolonial approaches to care.

My work focuses on helping clinicians move from conceptual understanding into real-time, in-session awareness—so that what they value in theory becomes something they can actually access in practice.

My Approach

I work from the understanding that clinical skill is not only cognitive—it is also relational, embodied, and shaped by the systems we are part of.

This means paying attention to:

• what is happening in the body

• how contact shifts moment-to-moment in relationship

• how power, history, and identity are present in the room

Rather than focusing on “getting it right,” my work supports developing the capacity to stay present, responsive, and accountable when the work becomes complex.

Background and Context

My work is shaped by both formal clinical training and lived experience.

I am connected to Migisi Sahgaigan (Eagle Lake First Nation) in Treaty Three territory, in what is now called Ontario. This grounding informs how I understand relationship, responsibility, and care.

Alongside this, my clinical work draws from trauma-informed, somatic, and relational frameworks, as well as ongoing engagement with anti-oppressive and decolonial practice.

Working Together

People who work with me are often:

- already thoughtful and reflective in their practice

- aware of moments where something feels harder to access in sessio

- looking for support that goes beyond insight and into application

Our work tends to be practical, focused, and grounded in what is actually happening in real clinical moments—not abstract theory.
